Washington.? President Wilson has
rejected the pope's peace proposals.
In a note dispatched last ni ,ht and
made public here tonight, the president
says that, while every heart not
blinded and hardened by the terrible

appeal of his holiness, it weird be
fc.oly to take the path of peace h

to the goal he proposes.

president, would involve a recuperation
of the strength anil renewal of |
thi? world domination policy of that
power, now balked, but not defeated
after sweeping a continent with the
blood of innocent women and children,
and the helpless poor, as well as of
soldiers.
Permanent peace must be based
upon the faith of all the peoples and!
upon justice and fairness, and the com
mon rights of mankind, he adds, and
"we can not take the word of the
present rulers of Germany as guarantee
of anything to endure, unless o>:plicity
supported by such conclusive
evidence of the will and purpose of
the German people thomsleves as the
other peoples of the world would he
justified in accepting."

The text of the note follcws:
"To His Holiness:

of vour holiness to the bel

tlie president of the United States requests
me to transmit the following

"Every heart that has not been

war must be touched by this moving
appeal of his holiness, the pope, must
feel the dignity and force of the humane
and lienerous motives which
prompted it, and must fervently wit h,
that we might take the path of pea, "

that we return to the status quo ante-,

create a permanent hostile combination

people, who are its instrument^ and
would result in abandoning the new

word of honor it could pledge in a
t.eaty of settlement and accommodation
?
Biusit for IVaco.
"Responsible statesmen must now
ixcrywhere see, if they never saw before,
that no peace can rest securely
upon political or economic restitutions
meant to benefit some nations and
cripple or embarrass others, upon
vindicative action or any sort or any
kind of revenge or deliberate injury.
The American people have suffered
intolerable wrongs at the hands of the
imperial German government, but
they desire no reprisal upon the German
people who have themselves suffered
all things in this war, which
they did not choose. They believe that
peace should rest upon the rights v#t :
peoples, not the rights of govern-,
mcnts?the rights of peoples, great or I
small, weak or powerful?their equal]
right to freedom and security and self)
g< vernment and to a participation up- '
on fair terms in the economic opportunities
of the world?the German
people of course included, if they will
accept equality and not seek dominu
tion.
"The test, therefore, of every plan
of peace is this: Is it based upon the
faith of all the peoples involved or
n.erley upon the word of an ambition
and intriguing government, on th?
one hand, and of a group of free peoples
on the other? This is a test
which goes to the root of the matter;
and it is the test which must be applied.

Columbia, S. C., (Special.)?"Do ;

the ultimate peace of the world!" is <
the message which is being sent broadcast
over the state by the Liberty j
Loan ("oniniittee for South Carolina, of (
which hid win \\\ Robertson, is chair- ;
man.
Already there has been a wide response
from many directions. Thousands
< f people have made application
through state and national banks
for bonis in denominations ranging
from $~n to $1,000. But since the allotment
for Soutft Carolina is $S,u00,000,
there are a great many more to
be disposed of before the slate will
have dore its duty.
Central committees to promote the
sale of the bonds have been appointed
in each county of the state. Men
everywhf re are giving their time and
efforts toward lie.ping the government
float this loan; knowing well
that the fate of the countiv, and perhaps
of the war, is resting upon this
bond issue. The banks have also put
th dr shoulders to the wheel. Practically
every bank is in a position to
accept applications for bonds, and
every man who wishes to subscribe
has only to apply to his hanker.
The appeal which the Liberty Loan
is making to the fanners. merchants
a lid business men is not only patri-j
otic; though the committee t'"f ls that'
> every man should want to support his
government to the extent of buying a
bond. It '.s also a business proposi- ,
tion; and a Liberty bond is right now
one of th^? b"s! and surest investments
that a man ran make.
The government lias got to buy corn
and cotton in quantities never before
beard of. These supplies have got to
come from the fields and farms of i
South Carolina along with the rest of
the country. Therefore, the money
that a farmer puts in the loan, comes
hack to him as actual cash in immense 1
purchases of the tilings which ho
raises. In this way he not only gets ,
a 3 1-2 per cent return on his bonds,
but he also gets the actual money
book for the products of his farm.
Just as the banks make their money ,
by financing the farmer. Just so the
farmer is now in a position to make
money by financing the government.
No matter how this situation la
fared, whether from sentiment or from
hard common sense, the move is a
good OR2?.

"What does it matter whether this
is a money making proposition or not.
Of course it is; but the thing that
any man or woman wants to think

For what use is tiie money to lie applied.
If a man is tilled with a realziation
of what the war means, it will
not take him long to decide.

"If it were a matter of war on our

we would not hesitate a moment. And
from all I hear from Washington, it
will very probably be our women and

rally to this loan with every available

The. day of has been set
apart by the Liberty Loan Committee
for South Carolina on which to receive
subscriptions all over the state.
On that day, it has been decreed by
the government that all men between
the ages of 21 and JO, inclusive, shall
register; and it is desired that on the
same day, all other people, and all of
"those that register as well, shall us
faithfully go to the hanks and lill out

| BAT'S BEST GIRL J||
:|i . ?|
; ; By I8ABEL FROST. !>
1 i
The Bat had h<>en riding for tlit* Connoly
stables for two years, over since
the colonel had picked him out of a
paddock down in Lexington. Probably,
If one could have taken the soul of the
Bat and dissected It, one would have
found the old law of "thy duty toward
thy neighbor" reduced to his duty to
the colonel.
When they took Starlight Boss up to
capture the sweepstakes at Miramar
Park, the Bat had no more doubt of the
outcome than he had of his own existence.
She was the colonel's best, und
had never been beaten.
The week before the race tlie Bat
shared in Starlight Hess' honor. Anionic
the other jockles and their crowd of
followers he was the chief, and small
wonder that he fell under the magic
' spell of Denver I?u. She had come
on with the toy balloon concession
tucked under, her arm, so to speak?
hiring small boys to peddle her balloons
for her and putting up her own
money in bets on the races. She was
about twenty-two, a year older tliun
the Bat.
He had a horror of big women.
"Any girl that goes with me has got
to weigh iu with me at one hundred
and nineteen." be would say, laughingly.
And Lou was 10.r>.
At the end of the fifth day before
the races she was wearing Mie Hat's
lucky nugget scarf pin, and the colonel
admitted that he admired the boy's
choice.
"You'll he too heavy to ride in a
year or two more. You'd better settle
down as a trainer, with it wife of
your own. Kvery man needs one,
sooner or later, and I like the looks of
the young lady, Tommy."
The Bat swung out of the stable,
glowing with pride. It was absolutely
true, and he felt that he bad met bis
fate. The only trouble was be didn't
have the money to swing it. Here was
a girl whom* father tin'1 boon 11 noted
horseman in his day. After his death
she had followed the raees all over the
rou 11 try, placing n sure hot where It
was needed and handling her concessions
as she pleased.
Just as the Hat came to the corner
where the hotel stood lie saw her running
down the steps to meet him.
"I was watching for you." she said.
"1 was in one of ihose temporary phone
booths they've put up over at the track.
As 1 was waiting for my number 1
heard laldio Hal.v's voice in the next
booth talking low. Tommy, as sure as
you're alive, they're planning some
devil's trick on your mare."
The Hat's eyelids narrowed as he
throw awav his cigarette.
"What did he have to say?" he asked.
"He was telling someone that Starlight
Hess was in the tilth Mail from
the light end as you go into the paddock.
and he said there was a little
window over the feedhox that was
I ft t ?>pcii :it night. 1 h:it wiis nil. Pur,
citiiiin^ from Daly. ii was enough. Will
you toll the colonel Y'
"He won't he hn'-k till tomorrow
morning." replied the I *: 11. "If I hnve
tlu'in change her to utiother hox sttill
It'll raise the dust, sind without evi(h
nee the association would sernteh
us. Don't you worry. I'll fix it."
The Hat made hut few preparations.
I'efore the days when the eolonel had
known him brass knuekles had been
part of the Hat's wardfoPo. and he dug
out the old ones that night with a
smile of retninlseeiiee.
About 0 :M0 a wiry, lithe figure
crawled Indian fashion through the
tall timothy along the paddock fence,
and after a .swift survey unlocked the
outer door of Starlight Hess' quarters
and disappeared inside.
The colonel was entertaining a large
party of friends at the Crand Southern
hotel that night. Just in the midst of
his after-dinner speech he was called to
answer the long-distance phone. It was
the Hat's best girl at the other end of
the wire.
"Hello, hello!" she called breathlessly.
"Colonel Connoly? You don't know
me, sir. I'm Denver Lou. the Hut's girl.
They tried to stab Starlight Hess in
tjie neck tonight. No, no, I don't mean
that. They tried to give her a hypodermic
of something to put lu r out of the
running. Yes. sir, thiufugh the window
above her head. The Hat was laying
for them and he knocked out lOddie
Daly's trainer, hut they've done him
up pretty badly. I've got him at the
hotel with two doctors. lie's got three
ribs crushed and a broken nose, but
he says he'll ride tomorrow, sir, if
you'll only let hiin."
"Cod bless the hoy!" gasped the
colonel. "Tell him I'll he there by
midnight."
Th* code of honor is strange in racing
circles. The Hat's Injuries were supposed
to have come from a had fall in
exercising, hut while the crowd were
cheering Starlight Bess and her winning
Jockey, the colonel and Denver
Lou watched the finish side by side.
Kddie Dalv and four other men had
left on the noon train In charge of prl?
vnte detectives.
"If there's anything really serious
between Tommy and yourself, Miss
Cassldy," the colonel remarked happily,
"I'd be wonderfully obliged if you
would permit me to offer something besides
congratulations. The lad's won
thousands for me, and I'll stnke him tc
ten thousand."
"I promised him that I'd marry hint!
two days ago." she said, "if he'd wlr
the race. That's why 1 had to get hin
up and ir condition. Don't you see
air?"
